Set in the bustling suburbs of Thane, the trailer takes us into the lives of five women who start supplying fentanyl in food dabbas.

Creator Shibani Akhtar shared, “With Dabba Cartel, we wanted to explore the extraordinary journey of ordinary household women, and how resilience, ambition, and survival instincts can push them into unimaginable circumstances. This is a story of friendship, betrayal, and power, set against the backdrop of a world they never imagined being a part of.
Director Hitesh Bhatia added, "Directing Dabba Cartel has been an incredible experience. At its core, it’s a gripping crime drama, but what makes it special is the emotional depth and the dynamic characters who navigate a high-stakes world with courage and wit.”
The series will start streaming on Netflix from February 28.
